Elizabeth Wakefield's journalism peper may cost her her life. She wrote up her theory that a young movie star's suicide was actually a murder, and two days later her dorm room is trashed. Somebody doesn't like Elizabeth's theory. Somebody may even be willing to kill her for it.
Jessica Wakefield is minding her own business in the campus coffeehouse when a bullet just misses her head. Suddenly she and her twin sister are running for their lives.
Tom Watts, Elizabeth's boyfriend, is frantic. His girlfriend has narrowly escaped campus with her life. Can he help her catch a murderer before the murderer catches her?

"Looks like you've been pretty busy, Jessica" Elizabeth said as she picked up a magazine off Jessica's bed.
"I'm just trying to find one good reason why Julia Reynolds would commit suicide, especially since everything was going so well for her."
"I doubt you'll get any real answers from a magazine. It's hard to know what to believe."
"The gossip papers say that Julia had a historyof depression, and that's why she did it. But I have my own theory. I think it was all a big accident. Julia jumped off that building at the wrong time, it's as simple as that."
"Or maybe the movie studio is keeping the whole thing under wraps," Elizabeth said. "Think about it - if you just sighned on a huge movie star and she died because of some stupid mistake, the whole company could go down."
"Yeah, New Vision could lose millions over this," Jessica agreed.
Clearly, the idea of suicide just didn't seem to fit. In the high-stakes world of Hollywood, there was one possibility that just couldn't be over-looked - and that was mueder.
